Chapter 624 Outrageous News
...
"Hu~Hu~Hu~I will never let you take my companion away!"
The Straw Hat Boy, whose body had not yet recovered, was already breathing rapidly before the battle began. He exhaled a breath of hot air from his mouth, and the next second his figure disappeared with a whoosh and instantly appeared behind Lucci!
"Rubber Rubber! Jet! Bazooka!!"
"Whoosh!"
Just as Luffy was about to punch, Lucci suddenly disappeared, and just as Luffy was about to turn around, a big hand grabbed his head and smashed it hard against the deck!
"Boom!!"
A big hole was smashed on the deck. The Straw Hat Boy spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Ahhh! Luffy?! It's over, it's really over this time!"
Seeing that the captain was also killed in one move, the three of them were shocked.
Usopp tied a white cloth to a huge slingshot and swung it.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't come over here! Don't come over here! We surrender! We surrender!"
"Watch this! Must-kill! Firebird Star!!"
Usopp planned it well, pretending to surrender and then taking advantage of Lucci's unpreparedness, he suddenly shot a large bird-shaped flame bomb at him! "
"Boom!!"
The firebird successfully hit Lucci, and the exploding flames instantly engulfed him completely!
"Sure kill: Gunpowder Star! Gunpowder Star! Gunpowder Star Star!!"
Feeling that it was not safe enough, Usopp fired more than a dozen gunpowder stars into the flames!
"Boom! Boom!"
"Haha! Success!! How could a brave seaman surrender?!"
"Wow! So awesome!"
"Well done! Usopp!"
Listening to Joba and Nami's praise, Usopp wiped his nose and looked very proud.
"Zi~Zi!"
"Da da da!"
Before the three of them could be happy for a while, they heard a series of unhurried footsteps coming from the flames.
"Gudong!"
"Hey, hey, hey, is this true? You can still survive this?"
The three of them swallowed, and their hearts rose to their throats again.
"How cunning, pirate."
Lucci walked out of the flames unharmed.
"Is this guy really a human?"
Nami said tremblingly.
!
"Stop it, Rob Lucci!"
Lucci frowned and looked at the black-haired woman who spoke.
"Ok?"
"You are? Nico Robin? I didn't expect you to become a pirate. Have you fallen?"
"Hehe, how can you say being a pirate is degenerate? I see that many of you have gone out to sea as pirates, too."
Robin retorted.
"They are just on a mission! They are not ordinary pirates."
Lu Qi emphasized.
"We the Straw Hat Pirates are not just any ordinary pirates!"
Robin said with a smile.
"So let us go! How about it?"
"Although we know each other, strictly speaking we are not partners. This is not a classroom, and you have no right to order me around, Nico Robin...teacher."
"I'm not ordering you, I just want to remind you that the master you serve has already met our captain, and he just treated Luffy to a barbecue, nothing happened, do you understand what I mean?"
"... "
"You better not lie to me!"
Lucci was a little confused as to why Lord Gel kept such a weak pirate group, but since it was Lord Gel's decision, there must be a deeper reason behind it.
"Haha, that's hard to say, Lu Qi-san. But if it's true, you can go back and ask, right?"
Robin said with a smile.
"A fellow like you who knows too many secrets and has chosen not to pledge allegiance to the Lord should be eliminated directly. It is only because the Lord is kind enough to allow you to travel and adventure on the sea, so you'd better know what to say and what not to say."
Lucci looked at the three people at the bottom who were shivering at the side and continued.
"Some things you say will only kill them."
"Ah my! Are you concerned about me? You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You are unexpectedly a gentle man!"
Robin teased with a smile.
"Humph! You think too much! I'm warning you!"
Lucci still had an expressionless look on his face. After he finished speaking, he turned around, walked to the side, carried the unconscious Kaku on his shoulders and prepared to leave.
"Hey, Luqi! Where are you taking our shipwright? You just heard it, he actually knows nothing!"
"This is a gift that Spandine prepared for you. You are the one who can decide how to deal with it!"
After saying that, Lucci jumped directly from the bow!
A dragon roar!!
Lucci transformed into a giant black dragon, stepped on the flame cloud, soared into the air, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"dragon?!!!"
Nami's pupils trembled violently, her legs went limp and she fell directly to the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey! Am I dreaming? Chopper, slap me twice quickly!"
"Wow! I saw it too, Usopp! It's so scary! What a huge dragon! It could swallow all of us in one gulp!"
"I was right. This guy is not a human at all! He's a real monster!"
Several people stared blankly at the direction where Lucci left, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
After a long while, Robin spoke up to remind him.
"Chopper, shouldn't we heal these three first?"
"Oh, okay! I'm a doctor! It's really wrong of you to forget to treat the wounded! I'll treat them right away!"
Chopper hurriedly ran to get the medicine box with his short legs.

Bird's Nest Island
Gel worked late into the night last night and had planned to notify the island residents of a meeting this morning. However, when he saw that Captain Gel had overslept, Mosan canceled the meeting.
Gel slept until he woke up naturally, and took Weeble and his follower Yamato for a stroll around the island as usual, eating and drinking along the way, feeling natural and relaxed.
"Lord Gur!? Lord Weeble! You guys are finally back!"
The store owner recognized the brothers and began to run over excitedly to greet them.
"Ah, I'm back. It's you, Lao Hu. Long time no see. You used to be laughed at for not growing a beard and not looking like a man. I didn't expect your beard to be so long now. As usual, 100 servings of mixed noodles!"
"Ah! Lord Gel, do you still remember me? That's great! It's been 20 years. You haven't come to my place for breakfast for 20 years, Lord Gel! Woo woo woo!"
The boss was so moved that tears started falling from his eyes. He quickly pulled his son to salute Geer.
It seemed to me that Ger, who had only been away for a few days, was chatting with everyone in his "friendly and easy-going" manner as usual.
"Alright, alright, stop crying! Hurry up and make me breakfast. I'm starving. If you let your tears and snot fall into my noodles, I'll smash your noodle shop!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes! Lord Gel, please wait a moment."
The boss laughed even more happily after being scolded.
When they heard that Lord Gel had returned, more and more people gathered on the street, and everyone's face was filled with smiles. There was no rehearsed welcome lining the streets, holding flowers and shouting uniform slogans. They were just expressing their gratitude and admiration for Lord Gel in this most sincere way.
In order to prevent road traffic from being completely paralyzed, Geer could only pack his breakfast and take it back to the castle to eat.
One bowl for yourself, and 99 portions of Weibull in a big bucket.
"What about mine?"
Yamato asked innocently, blinking his big eyes.
"You want to eat it too? Why don't you buy it yourself?"
"I…"
Seeing that Yamato looked angry and aggrieved, Gel took out some food to comfort her.
"Master! Master! There is big news! Master!"
Morgans rushed in with a newspaper, shouting excitedly as he ran.
"Suck, suck, suck!"
"Wow? What big news? Show it to me!"
After Gel slurped up the noodles, he drank up all the soup in the bowl without wasting any of it. Then he took the still warm newspaper from Morgans' hand and started reading it.
"Huh? What the hell is this? The Straw Hat Pirates causing trouble on Judicial Island?"
Gel's face was full of question marks. He wasn't imprisoned in Impel Down, so why did the newspaper become so outrageous?
